I triple checked the harness. Been doing electronics all my life (I'm 58) (design too). I don't believe DJI even tested them or looked at them at the factory. It took three months and after I complained twice and then mentioned a youtube video, it was returned the next day. One new one...

I can't believe this. No one will help! Not only that, a post on DJI's forum was just deleted with no replies. Isn't anyone using a DJI Mini OSD successfully?

So, I have a Naza V2 flight controller and I bought a Mini OSD controller. I hooked it all up and there was no output of OSD data. So I did an RMA but to save time I bought another one. Guess what, same thing! So I sent it back, and DJI returned after 3 months, both of them under warantee...

Well I just received ZTW Spiders from HobbyKing and though they look similar, the wires are soldered in a much more durable way. I can't see these coming off. Only issue being I will need to solder the wires. No problem. After two crashes, reliability comes first!

Well these are ZTW Spiders! They are _supposed_ to be top notch. Unless Range Video has lied...

Ok, I have uploaded two photos: They show how the connector is still attached to a piece of circuit board. And a perfect square of the circuit board has lifted of while still connected to the bullet. Not only that, the board is not a solid circuit board. It looks like it is perforated board...

Possibly but not the issue!

No!

Has anyone seen this? I have the range video 40A opto esc's (they are xztw spider esc's that use bullet connectors) and I have had issues with the bullet connectors separating from the circuit board. Its as if the circuit board is multilayer, but 1/2 the thickness of the board just comes apart...

Ok, How difficult can this be? You have video in, and video out. First my electronics experience....my last big trouble shooting exercise was board level troubleshooting using a scope and schematic on a 20 vacuum tube amateur radio transceiver to locate two failed ceramic capacitors....so I...

Thanks for that. However, I though the wobble came about from gains that are too high? Tom

No one?

Hi Are you sure it would not have any influence beyond that? Yesterday I replaced the broken pieces and them recalibrated the esc in question, and redid solder connections on it. I then ran two full speed tests, with the copter bolted down and then today had two successful 15 minute flights...

Not quite. If I connect that motor to a different esc on the copter, it spins perfectly fine. Lots of torque and I can't stop it. I'm thinking now the esc that is giving problems was not calibrated correctly.

Ok, Everything has been going just fine with my quad in testing and shorter flights. However yesterday, I added my gimbal, and went for a real flight. Everything worked well, I tested failsafe, came back to home position perfectly. I sent it on it's way again and all was doing fine then all...
